The story behind “To Dream”

This poem started as two pieces created about ten years apart. For a long time I was unable to complete them.

Then, some years after my divorce, I figured out they were one poem with the paragraphs interlaced.

When I showed it to her, Christi (my ex-wife) asked me who “She” was. To me it was obvious: “She” was Christi!
